Prescott W. Smith

A modern-day litigator, Prescott appears in state and federal courts across the U.S. He has extensive trial experience in class, collective, and multidistrict litigation, as well as arbitrations, mediations, and other dispute resolution forums.

Prescott speaks the many languages that product liability actions require. He can talk science with experts, engineers, and product designers at a high technical level. Clients appreciate his explanations of risk, exposure, and litigation strategy, and they value his ability to confront experts on the other side and find flaws in the opposition’s arguments.

In the courtroom, Prescott distills the law, facts, and sophisticated mechanical processes to educate and persuade judges and juries. He is the lawyer clients want in the room, whatever room that is, at any stage of the case.

Outside the office, Prescott is an avid motorcyclist, traveling more than 30,000 miles in most years on cross-country trips. As clients and colleagues will confirm, it’s not unusual for him to roll up on his bike for a vehicle or site inspection.
